The solution provided by @bluefirestorm should work. However, if you don't have Phython installed, you can easily fix the issue yourself.

  1. create a new (temporary) VM with the same name "Windows 10 x64.vmdk" and the same virtual disk format (60GB - Monolithic Sparse, i.e. as a single file) as the existing one, but in a temporary folder
  2. extract the header data from the temporary VM's .vmdk file using dsfo.exe
    dsfo.exe "Windows 10 x64.vmdk" 0 1536 "Metadata-OK.bin"
  3. copy "Metadata-OK.bin" to the encrypted VM's folder
  4. inject the .bin file into the encrypted .vmdk file using dsfi.exe
    dsfi.exe "Windows 10 x64.vmdk" 0 1536 "Metadata-OK.bin"

This will of course only fix the .vmdk file, but not the other encrypted files, so it may be necessary to do some other things (see @wila 's blog post).
